This is a semi-handy feature, but also can lead to sending a message to someone by accident. Is there a way to limit the suggested recipients?

The suggestions in the drop down are based on whatever you have in your Local Address Books.

This can be switched on or off, but it is not selective. 'Menu icon' > 'Options' > 'Options' > 'Composition' > 'Addressing' tab

Perhaps you may find it better to use the 'Contacts sidebar' instead. F9 key acts as a toggle to show or hide the 'Contacts sidebar'. else 'View' > 'Contacts Sidebar' You can choose an address book select contacts (press 'Ctrl' key whilst select various contacts') click on 'Add to TO button' or other options.

See image below as guide.
